Here are some unused outtakes from my recent video. This is me jamming to see what comes out, while in the process of writing the demo piece at the end of the video. At one point, I did use a section of this jam as the intro of the demo, but unfortunately my AT4040 mic into the interface malfunctioned and rendered most of that stuff unusable in the end. This is just what was picked up by the onboard camera mic. Some of it was actually pretty decent. I felt inspired anyway. When I feel like I'm jelling with an instrument or amp or whatever, I like to just let the camera and mics roll and see if anything is worth keeping. Sometimes magic happens, sometimes nothing seems to be worth a single solitary shit. Most of the time, it's a mixed bag. It's funny listening back to stuff like this as the guy who did it, I can always predict where I'm probably about to go with it, even if I don't remember specifically anything I played. Funny how the mind works like that. As for the onboard camera mics... Sometimes I prefer this raw onboard camera mic sound anyway because it's bare and honest. Gives a pretty good representation of what the acoustic sounds like in the room. I even will use a hint of the onboard camera mic in the actual final mix to give it that pinch of honesty you can't seem to get with a high quality condenser or close mic. You can hear in the final demo, I actually dial in the onboard camera microphone a bit when the slide part kicks in.
